Dr. James D. Kriseman, D.O.talked about Silicosis and how Florida mining does not affect the lungs, and not a danger to the community, the children, and the mine workers, The people opposed to mining also mention particulate matter and diesel emission during the presentation. "It's just not dust!". Its what gets into your lungs!

Listen to his lecture: (note the speech is about 6.5 min long, no beeps. Needs Windows Media Player

 

Here are the conditions presented about air pollution at the meeting, which he watched himself.

video of particulate dust and diesel emission from Dickerson FL indrio mine pit and imagine 550 trucks parading eveyday with children waiting for school bus for 15, 20 to 30 yrs.

Here's our arguments about health problems: and animation of what PM10 dust and other pollution do to our lungs!

Search doctors' credentials and any case:

Why I'm so intrigue by Dr. Kriseman's speech about dust, silicosis and no mention about particulate matter is I need an honest, independent opinion, no money involved! I'm urging any medical doctors, pulmunologists and histo-pathologists to make a sincere and honest opinion about the presentation he made. It would be wonderful if we can save the health of these people who work in such condition, to wear protection while working, save their families from heartache and headache. I also do not believe him that the silica/quartz /dust content is insignificant, we are talking about the length of exposure, and how much is retained or accumulated in the lungs.

Discuss particulate matter, dusts, silicosis and air pollution
 

We spoke to American Lung Association and one of their opinion was surprised that he presented such ideas to the people. I have been having congestion and sinus problems for two weeks now after standing for 2 hours in dusts and diesel emissions. They said that children are more vulnerable to lung diseases such as asthma, etc. due to the size of the body. Asthma can be triggered by anything that irritate the respiratory system - from dust, pollen,pollution, etc.

Serves me right for not using dust mask! Took a month to clear my respiratory track
